I have been following this initiative for a few weeks now, I think it is really great that the interaction of the Hivers is encouraged through the comments and that this feedback is somehow rewarded will make the initiative grow more by rewarding the resources that the user invests also when commenting.
For me it is very valuable to receive that feedback because it's a way to know that the content you created reached someone and had some effect.These last few days I have received very good feedback, and it´s also enriching when the people who have received my contributions respond to me and we have that interaction. I think it´s the best way to establish close links between members and at the same time it´s a distinctive value of Hive as a social network.
It's not just the work of creating content and then going to sleep, you have to be present, reviewing the interactions, reading other people's blogs, contributing ideas, adding in some way, all this generates more commitment and connection with the Community.
